The 63-year-old, who was born in Mexico City, had traveled south of the border to handle a property he inherited from his mother who passed away a few years ago.
Friends of Salkind tell us ... members of Ilya's staff last saw the legendary producer at his estate in Mexico on Sunday as he was on his way to "handle some errands and get some dental work done."
However, Salkind has not returned -- and yesterday, his friends filed a missing persons report with Mexican authorities.
Barry Freiman, Associate Editor of Superman Homepage & DC Comics Expert with Updates on Ilya Salkind Story:
UPDATES: Runway Magazine tonight issued a press release and online missing persons report regarding Ilya Salkind. Salkind was last seen about an hour south of Mexico City, Mexico on Sunday night, January 31st. The missing persons report includes photographs, a current description, and information on how to reach those searching for Salkind with information about his current whereabouts. Read the missing persons report here.
Salkind's Convention Manager Kenny Richardson spoke tonight exclusively with the Superman Homepage, and said "It makes me feel a lot better knowing how Ilya's fans are coming together to help to find him; it says a lot about Ilya."
UPDATE 2: Tonight the Superman Homepage received exclusive information from Salkind's cousin Hector Soto Peralta. According to Mr. Peralta, "[Ilya] was last seen in Tepoztlan, Morelos, on Sunday evening after having dinner with a French friend of his (and his mother's ), Françoise Neff, who was said drove him back home and dropped him in the corner of his street. Apparently "someone" still saw him on Monday. If I have more information, I'll let you know."
Stay tuned for updates as they come in on both Superman & Superboy Homepages.
